Chapter 11 Chapter Ten Little Peach Blossom Spring

"Emperor Jianwen" was still reluctant, but under Qi Bai's repeated urging, and because he might be really hungry, he reluctantly agreed.The two, it should be said that one person and one ghost searched in the old house together. (When Qi Bai said this, I said: "There are still two people, that 'Emperor Jianwen' is not a ghost, but a human being.") (Qi Bai shook his head: "Whether he is a man or a ghost, he is definitely the owner of that ancient house, otherwise, he would not be so familiar with all the secret doors and secret ways.") (Bai Su made a compromise statement: "Could someone discover the old house by accident, and after entering it, after a long time, they think they are Emperor Jianwen?")

(Qi Bai and I yelled together: "No, after he came in, he was possessed by the soul of Emperor Jianwen.") (I should be the closest explanation.) They were looking for food in the old house, the old house is huge, it seems that "Emperor Jianwen" is not very familiar with the kitchen and warehouse area (this is more in line with his status), so in the process of searching, there are quite a few Interesting, Qi Bai is like entering a treasure mountain. Everything in the ancient house has aroused his admiration. He said more than once: "I have entered countless Chinese and foreign ancient tombs, and there is nothing greater than this."

He continued: "In my opinion, apart from Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, the largest ancient tomb should be here." He said it many times, "Emperor Jianwen" was very angry: "What nonsense are you talking about? This is a palace, not a mausoleum." Qi Bai stuck out his tongue in secret, without arguing, but he was thinking in his heart: Isn't an old ghost who has lived in you for hundreds of years an ancient tomb? It was an hour before they found the cellar where the food was stored.When I opened the door of the cellar, all I saw was square, one-foot-square white wax. I moved out a piece and broke the wax seal. Inside was an oil market bag. When I untied the tarpaulin, I could smell the smell of meat. It turned out to be well preserved. Excellent jerky.

Not long after, they discovered that there were so many kinds of dried fruits in this food bank, it was amazing.There was a large altar, after it was opened, it was full of clear oil, at least a thousand catties, and there were several rows of small altars, the clay was smashed, and the aroma of wine was overflowing, Qi Bai took a big gulp of it, it was so mellow, he didn't know what it was what wine. At this time, Qi Bai was dancing, talking nonsense, and was so happy that he carried himself away. "Emperor Jianwen" has the dignity of an emperor, so naturally he doesn't know how to cook, so the responsibility of cooking falls on Qi Bai.He went to the "imperial kitchen" to have a look, and he was even more delighted. All the utensils were readily available, and a few kitchen knives were made of fine copper. Not only did they not rust, they were also extremely sharp.

Qi Bai simply showed off, and went around inside and outside the house, and found that in a bamboo grove, young bamboo shoots can be dug, and a few open spaces are mixed with a lot of wild vegetables, and even birds come and go. Livestock can be raised for food, just like a small paradise. In this way, he spent three days with "Emperor Jianwen" in that ancient house, and he hardly had the idea of ​​leaving. "Emperor Jianwen" also seemed very excited because he suddenly had someone to talk to.Qi Bai listened to him talking about all kinds of things back then, how King Zhou, King Qi, and Dai Wang were abolished, how King Yan went south to attend the funeral, and how Emperor Taizu dealt with heroes. These are all clearly written in history, and Qi Bai also knows.

But the details of life in the palace, Emperor Taizu Gao was angry at every turn, especially after the death of the prince, although there were many sons, but they were always depressed, and finally decided to pass the throne to the emperor and grandson, etc. There is no record, but "Emperor Jianwen" narrates it as if he had personally experienced it. When it comes to generosity, he is extremely excited, and when he talks about sadness, he weeps bitterly. This makes Qi Bai further believe that he is indeed the famous Chinese history. , whose whereabouts are unknown, and whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen are a mystery.

Qi Bai asked him about his escape, and "Emperor Jianwen" was even more angry: "The Taizu knew that my uncles were all plotting to become big, and I was young and lonely, so I built a tunnel in the palace in advance. Taizu’s profound knowledge is indeed extraordinary.” At this moment, Qi Bai said, "Not necessarily, if he really had such foresight, he shouldn't have made you emperor. You can enjoy wealth and glory, and you don't need to flee from the tunnel." "Emperor Jianwen" was furious when he heard this, he slapped the table and scolded: "If you say such things, you should destroy the Nine Clans Ling Chi."

Qi Bai originally wanted to make a joke of him, saying "so what about destroying the ten clans", but then he thought that this "old ghost" in front of him must not be able to make such a joke, so the words made a turn in his throat, Finally did not say it. Hearing this, Bai Su smiled, but I couldn't help laughing: "It's a good thing you didn't say that, otherwise, I'm afraid there will be a "Blood in the Ancient House", a battle between humans and ghosts, I don't know who Who wins." Qi Bai smiled wryly: "If I lose, I will naturally turn into a ghost. I don't know if a ghost is killed by me, what will it turn into?"

I laughed even more: "It is recorded in ancient books that when a ghost dies, it becomes a kind of ghost called 'x'. In a world-famous ghost story, there is an article titled "Zhang Ari", in which there is such a sentence: "People die For ghosts, ghosts die for x'." Qi Bai looked fascinated: "What kind of existence is this...?" I laughed: "Then how do you know? I don't even know what kind of ghosts exist, let alone after ghosts die." Qi Bai hesitated to speak, but Bai Su gave him an encouraging gesture, and he said: "I know for sure what kind of existence ghosts are, because I have been with ghosts before."

I shook my head: "According to your description, it's not a ghost, it's a human being." Qi Bai also shook his head: "It's definitely a ghost, otherwise, he wouldn't have known so many details about life in the palace at that time." I said, "Maybe he's a historian." Qi Bai shook his head: "That's not history, it's all the details of life, there are no historical records." I sighed. "Then he might be a historical novelist." Bai Su also participated in the opinion: "It is not ruled out that there is no such person at all, but the energy of the soul has affected Qi Bai's brain activity, making him feel that there is a possibility of him."

What Bai Su also said was exactly my consistent "theory" about ghosts, and I naturally agreed, but Qi Bai shook his head: "That's not an illusion, it's a real existence." I wanted to say something else, but he was ahead of me: "Wesley, we are here, what's the use of speculating and imagining? It's just a three or four day journey. If you go there once, you'll understand everything." Everything Qi Bai said has already aroused my strong curiosity, and I have already prepared to go to the old house to see what the situation is like - even if I really want to cover my eyes, I will, let alone at this time, We already know the identity of the "old ghost". Naturally, Qi Bai can also accommodate a bit, and don't want me to be blindfolded. I thought for a while: "I'll go in in the name of your assistant." Qi Bai was very happy: "Yes, as soon as we enter, we will go straight to the mountains. Don't worry, you will never regret this trip. We will set off early tomorrow morning." After it was decided, everyone felt very relaxed, and Qi Bai did not further describe everything about the ancient house and "Emperor Jianwen", because I would soon be able to experience all of this in person. Instead, he was happy about the person who "lost his temper"—that was Dr. Fei Wei.Speaking of Dr. Fei Li, I was also annoyed. I didn't know what this strange doctor was doing, but I remembered his weird question and said with a wry smile, "It's weird, before you came...before he lost his temper... , I once asked me if anyone knew the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen." When Qi Bai heard me say this, his expression was extremely astonished: "This...how is it such a coincidence? Could it be that he is so terrifying, there is a reason, and until now, someone is still looking for him?" I shouted loudly. "What do you want to say?" Qi Bai shook his hands wildly, obviously his thoughts were extremely chaotic: "I think...if there is... Could it be that Doctor Fei...is Ming Chengzu?" I sighed: "It's getting weirder and weirder, of course he's not Ming Chengzu, he's a doctor..." Speaking of this, I couldn't help hesitating for a moment: "Really, he is extremely strange. He is now concentrating on a research project, but he has no idea what his research topic is. He only knows that... it may not be the same as researching nerves." related to the state of mind of the righteous.” Qi Bai stuck out his tongue: "Only this point. I don't know how many things can be studied." That night, our discussion ended here, and when we set off early the next morning, Qi Bai's demeanor became very nervous again, instead of talking to himself, he said to me hundreds of times: "Don't reveal me. You are not blindfolded, and don't offend him." He reminded him hundreds of times: "When you get outside the cave, you have to let me cover my eyes." At the beginning, I promised him a few times, but in the end, I was too lazy to make a sound.I have my own thoughts—that night, Bai Su and I discussed it again, and we both felt that the "Emperor Jianwen" that Qi Bai mentioned was really a ghost. —The soul is most likely to interfere with brain activity.In that situation, many mentally ill patients do not have the kind of disease that they think they are historical figures, so we have a vague feeling that "Emperor Jianwen" is also likely to be related to Doctor Fei Li, not to mention that Fei Li is so strange, so coincidentally asked about it The whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen. At the beginning of the journey, there is nothing to describe. In the dilapidated plane, I arrived at a gray city that looked down from the sky. There is life in the city. Whether it is full of vitality or melancholy, the best observation The angle is condescending. Then, Qi Bai went through some procedures, and we started to enter the mountain.I didn't bring much equipment, because Qi Bai said: "When you arrive at the huge mansion, you will find everything you need. You would never have imagined that after hundreds of years, dried meat and preserved fruits still have a tangy aroma under multiple layers of wax seals. Wine, that is A real old wine." Qi Bai said again: "That place can really be used as a long-term residence. Zhu Yuanzhang has thought very carefully about his grandson." I "don't listen to it", anyway, it won't be very deep into the mountains, Qi Bai and I both have the ability to live in the wild, so with less equipment, it will be much easier to drive the road. On the second day of Renshan, I saw the shrub belt. Looking down from a small hill, it was a wonderful sight. That kind of shrub has darker and thicker green leaves than other trees, so it looks like a long Incomparably, the thick green belt stretches forward, which is a spectacle. We walked forward along the bush belt. The next night, the moonlight was very good, and our spirits were also good, and we didn't want to rest too early.The night is extremely quiet, every time you step on the grass, you will make a "swipe" sound. If you walk fast, the sound of "swipe" will be abrupt, and if you walk slowly, the sound will be slow, and the mountains around you are towering. , In terms of feeling, it seems to be on another planet. Not long after midnight, he heard the sound of gurgling water, and Qi Bai became nervous: "It's almost here, you should cover your eyes." I shook my head: "Why so early, it's not too late when I see the cliff you mentioned." Qi Bai persisted for a while, but he couldn't hold me back, so he had no choice but to give up. He seemed to be preoccupied and sighed.Not long after, I saw that mountain stream, under the moonlight, the stream was shining brightly, extremely quiet, and not long after, I saw the source of the spring, there was a pile of rocks on the source of the spring, according to Qi Bai, that was It was piled up on purpose, but there is still no sign of artificiality.Looking forward, not far in front, there is indeed a very high cliff, black and dense, as if cutting off the whole world at once. I hurried forward a few steps, trying to run up to the pile of rocks, but Qi Bai suddenly stretched out his hand and held me back. His movement was so sudden, and the momentum of my rushing forward was so urgent that both of us People fell to the ground together, I was about to scold him, but he has already said loudly: "Shut up, someone comes out." The place where the two of us fell happened to be between two big rocks, and we could see the situation of the cliff. On the complete cliff, there was a stone gate in one place. The scene was exactly the same as seen in some ancient costume movies, but it was not interesting, only weird. The secret door was not very big, tall people might have to lower their heads to get in and out. Sure enough, as soon as the door opened, they saw a person walking out of the secret door with his head down. I stretched out my hand and patted Qi Bai's shoulder, expressing my admiration for his keen senses, just now I didn't feel any sound of the secret door moving at all. As soon as the man came out of the secret door, he straightened his body, he seemed to be quite tall, and he was wearing a brocade robe that was very beautifully embroidered and looked extremely gorgeous even in the moonlight. In his ear, he said in a very low voice: "It's him...he found the warehouse where the clothes are stored. Look, who else has such brocade robes except the emperor?" I also answered in a very low voice: "I didn't deny that this is the emperor's palace, but I don't think he is the emperor." Qi Bai didn't say anything else, just pointed to the man, the man took a few steps forward, with his hands behind his back, raised his head, under the moonlight, he could see clearly, his expression was melancholy, his brows were frowned , as if he had infinite thoughts, looked at the bright moon and let out a long sigh. That long sigh statement was indeed full of emotions of national hatred and family hatred.Although I was sure that it was a person and not a ghost, but because the scene in front of me was too weird, I still couldn't help it. First, I looked at the ground where he was standing - the purpose was to see if there was any shadow of him. Of course there are shadows, normally because of the bright moonlight, the shadows look very clear. I touched Qi Bai, pointed forward, and motioned him to look at the shadow of that man, Qi Bai glared at me, and lowered his voice: "I have already said that he is strong." When I heard Qi Bai say "a solid ghost" for the first time, it was not easy to understand what that meant.Now, this solid ghost is right in front of me, so naturally I don't understand it any more. At this time, after the man sighed three times in a row, he suddenly let out a long howl; in fact, I can only guess that it was him looking up to the sky and howling, but in fact, the sound he made was very unpleasant.It's not graceful at all, but it's a bit like the howling of a bereaved dog. The reason why people know that he is howling is because following that strange howling, the light flashed under the moonlight, and his hand behind him moved to In front of him, he was holding a long sword that was shining brightly in his hand. That sword, one can tell it's not ordinary at first glance, it's shiny and dazzling, under the moonlight, there is a dark and pure aura, which makes people feel cold when they look at it involuntarily. He held the sword in his hand, posed a posture, held the sword formula in his left hand, and danced the sword, which was quite satisfactory, while dancing, he kept making that extremely unpleasant howling sound. After dancing for about ten minutes, he raised his sword and slashed at a small tree beside him. With a sound of "cha", the small tree as thick as an arm was chopped off in one fell swoop.I was shocked.This sword is so sharp, it would be no joke in the hands of a madman. When the little tree was broken, the man said bitterly: "I wish I could kill the rebels like breaking this tree." Then, he sighed again: "I hate Emperor Gao, who conquered south and north and conquered a great country. It was ruined in my hands." He was full of hatred, and his expression was gradually deepening in pain. Suddenly, there was another loud cry, followed by a long sigh: "I really have no face to see Emperor Gao under the spring." As he spoke, his eyes were wide open, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he even raised that razor-sharp sword and cut at his own neck. All of a sudden, there will be such a change. Qi Bai and I never imagined that the sword is so sharp. If it is smeared on the neck, even if it does not die for a while, where can we go to find a doctor in the barren mountains?And we were at least thirty meters away from him, and it was too late to snatch the sword from his hand. I don't care what Qi Bai thinks, in such a situation, it is always important to save people, I jumped up suddenly, shouting: "Wait a minute." The gap between the sharp blade and the man's neck was only half a centimeter, and his hand holding the sword was not very stable.The sword looked heavy and trembling, such a sharp blade.If I bump into it casually, the skin will be ripped apart, so I jumped forward, not allowing him to ask questions first, so I shouted: "The lands and mountains laid down by Emperor Gao of Taizu are still inherited by Emperor Gao's descendants, why do you hate it?" The man swung the sword in his hand, the point of the sword pointed straight at me, his expression was terrifying, and he said sharply: "Where is the thief, dare to speak rudely?" I stood still in front of him, and said with a sneer: "There are even worse things. The country belongs to one family and one surname. This kind of thing has long since disappeared. I don't care if you are a human or a ghost, and I don't care what dreams you are having. Woke up." Before I could finish my words, the man let out a loud roar, stepped forward, and stabbed me with a sword. When he was dancing the sword, I could already see that this man didn't know anything about swordsmanship, he was just waving the sword in his hand.But even so, because the sword in his hand was so good, when he stabbed with the sword out of order, it still brought a chill.One can imagine, if this sword is in the hands of a famous swordsman, what kind of cold light will flash. When I jumped forward, I was already prepared. The place where I settled was next to the small village that he cut off just now. Although the tree was not thick, the half of it that fell to the ground was dense with branches and leaves.At this time, he stabbed with a sword, I stepped back a little, lifted half of the tree with one foot, slashed at the man, and pressed over, the man suddenly saw a large mass, carrying the wind, coming towards him Come on, panicked.While he was in a hurry, I lifted my foot again and kicked him on the wrist, causing the sword to emit a cold light and fly into the air. I saw that the man was still fidgeting with his hands, trying to get half of the tree out of the way, so I ignored him, turned around, and saw Qi Bai stunned.He stood with a pale face, and the sword, which had fallen from mid-air, was stuck in front of him, almost reaching the hilt. Qi Bai's fear was not known whether it was because he was almost killed by the sharp sword falling from mid-air, or because of the situation.I strode over, stretched out my hand first, and pulled out the sword. When I saw the horizontal sword, I couldn't help applauding: "Good sword!" On the edge of the sword, there was a sword flower looming indistinctly. When he stretched out his hand and flicked it, the sound made was endless and extremely pleasant.Since I started learning martial arts, I have been obsessed with the weapons involved in various oriental martial arts for a while. I have seen many good swords and swords, but this sword is the most-naturally, the sword from the emperor. , must be the real sword. I was just admiring the sword in my hand, and didn't pay attention to what Qi Bai was doing, until he was yelling right in front of me, and I looked up, only to see that he had come to me, twisted his face, stretched out his hand Pointing at me, exasperated: "You...you see what you did?" I made a gesture to use the sword in my hand, and I would cut off his fingers, causing him to withdraw his hand quickly in fright.I said: "Although I offended the emperor's dragon body, but just now you saw that he wanted to wipe his neck to seek death, not me. At this time, he might not even be able to do it like a ghost." Only then did I shift my gaze to that person again—that person, without a doubt, is the one who calls himself "Emperor Jianwen". At this moment, he looked like he couldn't help but cry, and he stood numb. On the back of his hands and on his face, there were places scratched by branches, and there were faint traces of blood oozing out. He stared at me, as if he didn't know how to deal with me, a lunatic who committed a crime, or should he reward me for saving me. Hearing what I said, Qi Bai couldn't help but smiled wryly, and muttered, "Really, I'm going to die. I deserved to die the day the city was destroyed. I'll save it for now as a joke." At this time, I was absolutely sure that the person in front of me could never be a ghost, it was 100% human. No matter how strong a ghost is, it cannot be so strong. (Although what a ghost should look like, I have no idea.) I walked over to him and said in a deep voice, "Who are you? Stop playing tricks." The "Emperor Jianwen" trembled with anger, pointed at me and asked Qi Bai: "You want me to see this person?" Without waiting for Qi Bai to answer, I rushed to say: "That's right, it's a good thing I'm here, otherwise, you would already be dead on the ground, if you still want to die now, I will never stop you again." As I said that, I took his hand and stuffed the hilt of the sword into his hand. He couldn't even hold the sword, he yelled, turned his head and ran into the secret door.Qi Bai shouted anxiously, "Wait a minute." He shouted, and ran in. I picked up the sword and followed in. When I entered the secret door, I couldn't help but be amazed.Qi Bai once described it as a "huge cave", but if he hadn't come there in person, he would never have imagined that a cave would be so big. The concept of a cave is always a cave.As soon as we entered the secret door, it was indeed a cave, but it was so tall and spacious that it seemed that the entire mountainside had been hollowed out. We didn’t feel that we were in the middle of the mountain at all. Moreover, there were many holes and gaps on the top of the cave, through which the moonlight could come in. In the cave, there is a faint light, looking up, it looks like there are many moons. That huge mansion stood majestically, and the "Emperor Jianwen" and Qi Bai walked in one after the other.
